​Exciting news! This is the second consecutive year that an EAGLE Charter School teacher has won the coveted Crystal Apple Award!

Last night, Mrs. Morgan was honored with a Crystal Apple Award!She was one of 12 teachers selected out of a field of 47 nominees.Way to go Mrs. Morgan!! We are so proud of you!

Here is a brief summary that was posted in the Stateman's Journal about Mrs. Morgan:

Stacey Morgan, a teacher at Eagle Charter School in Salem, was described by the school's principal, John Trotta, as "one of the top five teachers" with whom he has worked with during his 55-year career.

Trotta wrote in his nomination that Morgan has mastered the ability to nurture her students while keeping them socially,academically and behaviorally accountable.

"Her love of children and of teaching is evident whether one is simply walking by her classroom, going to her classroom to deliver a message or during a formal evaluation," he wrote. "Her dedication to children is genuine and consistent throughout the day.

A parent who also nominated Morgan said she asked severaltimes if her daughter was really ready for second grade.

"I secretly hope she will say 'no' so that we can repeat this amazing year," the parent, Stephanie Foreman, wrote. "I have never seen kids learn so much, have such love for their teacher and respect each other more than in this classroom."

EAGLE has an amazing staff and this is one more example of just how amazing they are!

Why does Salem have all these ridiculously beautiful women? I kept looking left and right and there's not one ugly person in every corner. Does it have something to do with witchcraft? Are they intentionally putting all of us under a spell to hide their true sloppy colors? I don't think so. I just think maybe all of them are making an effort to teach younger generations of women to look their best pretty much like those women from Venezuela but that's another story.
